8:11 I’m from Finland and I think that ”Atero” is Antero 😅
Mäki vähä olin silleen ku tuo Korhonen tonne sukunimii pistettiin et oliko tää nyt yelisimmät vai harvinaisimmat
Was gonna point out the same thing XD
Crish :D Korhonen on Suomen yleisin sukunimi.
itekki aattelin et joo mitä vittua en oo ikää kuullu nimee Atero.
Niinpä
My great grandfather was named Guđmundur Guđni Guđmundsson
Anna Julnes classic ! 😁👍🏻
Country?
@@maddie5284 Iceland
Oh wow
Maddie Iceland duh
I’m Finnish and I have never met a Person whose name is Atero, so I think it’s supposed to be antero
I’m Norwegian, and I don’t know anyone named «Liv». But I suppose it still makes sense if it’s a country-wide study. I haven’t met 1/1000 of the people living in this country, after all :P
@@DillaryHuff There's a difference between "huh, I've never met anyone named this" and "this is supposedly the fourth most common one yet it doesn't even sound like a real name wtf" though. In this case, Atero is distinctly in the latter category.
DillaryHuff Liv er et normalt navn det? Jeg har sett flere som heter det
@@sanderboks5348 Har sett flere som heter det, jeg også. Jeg sier ikke at det ikke er et normalt navn, men det overrasket meg at det er oppført som det fjerde mest populære navnet. Kjenner som sagt ingen som heter det, selv.
@@HeapOfBones I get what you're saying. And don't get me wrong, Liv isn't an uncommon name here. It's a fairly normal name, but based on my experience, it had it's heyday during the 70s and 80s and is not very popular anymore. Hence, my surprise when I saw it was listed as the fourth most common one.
I hear the name on extremely rare occasions, but it seems like a very rare name these days. I think I've heard it 2-3 times over the past 15-20 years. I typically associate it with women who are 50 years+.
The Scandinavians love their ssons and sens!
It's "son" actually, the first s is just possessive. Johansson = "Johan's son".
MrMyopinionsmatter Nah dottir and sson
Eric Petit yeah Swedish use son and the danish/Norwegians love sen! Dottir is common throughout all of them.
Steffen M. I know i’m Swedish myself
Eric Petit yeah I’m 12.5% Swedish/Norwegian according to ancestry, and most of my Swedish/Norwegian ancestors had surnames ending in either son,sen,berg, and dottir. Surnames like Andersson, Hansen, Hjelle, Olafsdottir, Engberg etc... Most of them migrated to the Midwestern United States to Minnesota and Wisconsin. Those states are straight up Scandinavian! Even the football team for Minnesota are called the “Vikings”.
Those Finnish statistics contain middle names too. I'm almost certain those are not the most common first names. They seem more like middle names to me, the only exceptions being Maria and Johanna.
väestörekisterin mukaan ne on nimenomaan suosituimmat *etunimet* joten myös toinen nimi lasketaan :d
Niinhän minä sanoin? :D
Niihin tilastoihin lasketaan kaikki nimet sukunimeä lukuunottamatta. Suomessa ei tehdä pesäeroa niin sanotun oikean etunimen (kutsumanimi) ja muiden etunimien välille, mutta englanninkielisissä maissa etunimellä viitataan nimenomaan kutsumanimeen.
Tyynymyy Millä ei ole oikeastaan tasan yhtään mitään väliä. Henkilön kutsumanimi voi olla mikä tahansa enintään kolmesta annetusta etunimestä. Esimerkiksi kaksi sisarustani eivät kumpikaan käytä ensimmäistä nimeään, vaan toista. Tunnen myös henkilön jonka kutsumanimi on etunimistä kolmas.
@@wardeni9603 Ei, sillä just on väliä: se nimen omaan vääristää tilastoa: toisten nimien perinne on aivan erilainen, paljon konservatiisisempi ja rajallisempi. Eri tilastot olis tarpeen. Vaikka niin että s eotettaisiin siitä mikä on kutsumanimi, joka yleensä on se (varsinainen) etunimi.
@@timomastosalo ei sillä kyllä ole väliä, edelleenkin kutsumanimi voi olla mikä tahansa kolmesta annetusta nimestä, eli kyseiset nimet ovat kaikki etunimiä. Suomessa ei ole mitään "keskinimiä" tai muuta turhaa paskaa.
I lost it when you "turned on" the Norwegian accent. Your pronounciation of the names is SOO heavy! hahaha
At least he tried 😂
Det vakke dårlig hehe
Damn, Anders really gets around.

@@steppenwolf3769 WTF... The Runic alphabet has nothing to do with the Turkish alphabet. They Brainwash you Turks with some crazy shit. Try examing ancient Greek Linear A and B and Viking Runes... Almost identical. Turks didn't even have an alphabet till 100 years ago.

He sounded so angry when he said the Danish female names🤦♂️😂
And that is how danish is pronounced ”🤦🏼♀️😂”
Lol you know what he pronounced them correctly.
I know
He’s is also taking to heat Danish.

Hej jeg er også dansk og jeg er en Julie så goddag
Clint Beastwood me too bud
Clint Beastwood jeg er bare en Anders 😂 but lets celebrate anyways
When you pronounced the Norwegian names, I think it was really good pronounced since I'm from Norway
Since you were talking about where all other nordic countries surnames derive from, heres a fun fact about the Finnish ones; the majority of surnames come from nature-related words, such as Virta/Virtanen= stream, Mäki/Mäkelä/Mäkinen= hill, Niemi/Nieminen= penninsula, Järvinen/Järvelä= lake, Lahti/Lahtinen= bay, Koski/Koskinen= rapid stream etc. These originally developed to mean a family that lives e.g. on a hill (Mäkinen) or by a bay (Lahtinen).
Interesting! It sounds like the other very common type of surnames we have here in Sweden that are related to the nature, like "Berggren", "Lundkvist", "Bäckström" :D
You pronounced the Finnish names surprisingly good
Eihä
tf oli tuo juHAnnNa like miTA vITTu
Same whit the Danish names
@@eliz6691 no se yritti parhaansa!
No eI Se nIiTä hYvIN kyLLä LAusunU!
Every Swedish lady that i've ever met is named "Anna" 😅
Generous Sam Josefin or saga is quiet common as Well
Andrew Møller met other nords named "izban" , sorry if i didn't spell it correctly 😊
Andrew Møller Saga? That sounds really cool! Danish people would kill that name though.. Sounds better with a swedish “accent”. I know since I’m danish, and we would say Saga in such a harsh, boring way. You know, porridge in our throats...
Michelle Shannie Ja Saga... havde også svært ved at udtale det rigtigt i starten, men efter en uges tid havde jeg fanget at man skulle ligge tryk på G’et 😂😂
And yet, no Elsa. I'm surprised
I can't explain how much I love the Nordic countries! ❤️❤️❤️
8:10 Im from Finland wtf Atero its not name Antero is name💙
Not to mention those statistics also contain middle names. Most of those names seem more like middle names to me. Maria and Johanna are pretty common first names though.
ihiminen niimpä xd
im from finland and i think the same
Mun isän nimi on Antero
ihiminen kato moi
The 4th most common male name in Finland is of course "Antero" not "Atero" (No wonder I hadn't heard of it haha)
Thanks for the correction!
2017!? 6:20
Fazydasy Ja det är omöjligt att veta redan nu vilka dom populäraste namnen 2018 blir :) 6 månader av bäbisfödande/döpande kvar! Om det var så du menade.. jag kanske missuppfattade din "fråga".

Hei
your danish accent is probably the best I've heard from someone who isn't danish
It’s not a stretch L0 Al Swedish is not all that different from danish or Norwegian, except for their accent
Your danish accent is cracking me up looollll
Sophia Neilsson he has a swediah accent tho.... what do you mean
[Insert Name Here] Indeed, But when he was Trying to say the danish names.
Lumi ooooooohhhh ok..... lol
Sophia Neilsson the norwegian too aha
Ikr lmao 😂 but he was trying tho
Do most unpopular names!
Great idea! :D I will look into it!
Nuusku my name would be there for male names. its kim.
Nuusku my brothers name is more unpopular than yours i think, especially in Sweden! It’s Marlon
Alicia, My name is special cuz im only one in Finland
My last name is Nielsen but I am from Texas in the USA. I am glad because I don't like cold weather. All of you Scandinavians seem pretty nice to me though.
I've never seen a more efficient video. You literally used every second to tell us exactly what the video is about and nothing else that would make us want to skip it. Well done.
When he does Sweden but doesn’t mention Felix once:
Impossible, perhaps the archives are incomplete
i was thinking the same thing HAHA
And Maja
kenobi?
In finland, those names you listed, is like about -30 "common" names. But now -90 to at this day, is very common names like: Ella, Aleksi, Valtteri, Jaakko etc.
oon kans törmänny tosi useeseen Emmaan, Veeraan ja Lauraan, musta niie ois ainaki pitäny olla siel tyttöjen listalla

This really shouldn't be interesting but somehow it is xD

The thing with the Finnish names is that the service where you found them, doesn’t separate first and second (and third) names, it’s just list of most given names. That’s why there are so many traditional names, especially in the 2017 male names. Second names are usually older ones and might even run in the family and there are few names that are very common as a second name (Juhani, Olavi, Maria just as an example) but not given that often as first name anymore.
Little correction of your finnish name lists, I gathered true information of most popular current names in Finland
Newborn girls (fin speaking / swe speaking finns)
1. Aino / Ellen
2. Eevi / Saga
3. Emma / Emma
4. Sofia / Linnéa
5. Aada / Wilma
Newborn boys (fin speaking / swe speaking finns)
1. Leo / William
2. Elias / Emil
3. Onni / Liam
4. Väinö / Edvin
5. Oliver / Elliot
Your most common finnish names male/female and surnames were correct.
Names like "Olavi", "Maria" and "Johannes" are more common as a
second or third name.
How did Sofia become Linnéa? Or why is it two names?
Emybell because some people in finland just speak swedish. So they use different kinda names ig?
Emybell Finland has two official languages, so names are fin speaking / swe speaking ones. Like ie. Canada, they speak English/French
His list is basically correct. Yours are the most common _first_ names. A lot of Finnish families have middle names that they pass through generations, that's why many old names still remain the most common.
You are splendid Nackagubben.
great vid love it
the danish accent was better with the female names haha
NACK IS BACK!!!
I loved you getting into your Norwegian 🤣 sykt bra!
About Finnish surnames: roughly speaking, if it ends in -nen, it is originally from eastern Finland, and if it ends in -la or -lä, it is from western Finland, and might be from a name of an estate or a farm back in the day.
The Finnish "nimipalvelu" site is also translated in swedish and englsih, you can change the language at the top of the page.
It is common in Finland to give babies two or three first names. So the popularity of certain names come from generation after generation giving their baby traditional second or third names! For example Maria is a common first AND second name. This is/could be the case in other countries as well
Very interesting indeed. Thank you!
ICELAND GANG! I love that you like the language, your accent is cool
You did quite well pronouncing the Finnish names, good job
When I was in Finland with my class, we had a “Teacher” named “Pekka”. Then my Teacher (from Denmark), was yelling at Pekka, because they Walked to fast. He was Like “Eh, Pekka! Fy faen, you walk to fast”.
The whole class cracked up
😂😂😂😂
you're great :D first video I watched on your channel and thoroughly enjoyed it!
Du hadde det nesten på norsken, men du falt ut litt på slutten ;)) Veldig fin video
Great video mate!
I bet you meant Antero, not Atero in the Finnish male names :)

Very interesting thank you.
A very good post, its informative & entertaining. Thumbs up & I Subscribed.
Nora and William is probably popular because of the Norwegian TV Show "Skam". The main characters are named Noora and William. I am surprised these two were Number one in Norway.
Yes, but the name Nora have been popular before «skam» in many years
nora and william have been popular names for years, but i do think that those names have become even more popular because of skam
Norwegian people are not that excited about SKAM as you may think
Well in the capital of Norway the most popular name is mohammed...
My name is Nora and i was born in 2003, and it was the most popular name then also
"New born babiesh. I don't know where that came from."
It came from your inner Sean Connery
For some reason this video was in my suggestions but I’m official in love 😍 eye candy and a cute accent 🤤🤤
No eyebrows though
Gudrun is a great Norwegian name. I have a tante Gudrun on both sides of my family. Love the video. Tusen takk!
It's so great to see a new video from you after more than a month. Loving Sweden/Scandinavia more and more!! Grattis på uppgå till 7.8 tusen anhängare. Har en god dag! :)
Evniki Alezandria Yeah.... Google translate's probably not the best translator 😂
Linnea LD Heya, I do apologize for that. It's actually me still trying to grasp the Swedish grammar; especially the verbs! And learning it on my own using only a phone app probably doesn't make much progress. So yea, I'm sorry (Förlåt). Thanks anyway. :) What's the correct way of writing it?
nice try :D I'd just say "Grattis till 7800 följare! Ha en bra dag :)"
mitchy Oh ok. Noted with thanks. Ha en bra dag :)
Evniki Alezandria Oh don't apologize! I know how hard it can be learning on an app! (Tried learning Finnish... didn’t go so well...) You’re actually pretty good for learning from an app! The way Swedes would say it now is: “Grattis till 7,8 tusen prenumeranter! Ha en bra dag! :)”
As you said is pretty correct but it sounds like you’re really old when you say it like that! But it’s ok! Oh well, ha en bra dag! :D
For Finnish names, Nimirekisteri is really good. It's official website that registers all the names in Finland. It's also available in Swedish and English :) Great video by the way!
Yay Nacka!

WOOHOOO IM HALF FINNISH AND IM VENLA AHHAAAHHAA
Also, we all know a mikko😂
@@liasola9077 More like several people named Mikko
i feel like like we all know atleast one person named Maria or Juho:)
In Slavic languages, there are also surnames composed from the father's name (usually not the actual father's name as well), they are ending with -ich, e. g. the surname of Zlatan Ibrahimović means that he is a son of Ibrahim. However, in East Slavic languages it is more complicated, because the full name of a person is composed of three words: name, actual "father's name" surname and surname.
Ivan Slipukhin Explains the loooong and difficult surnames of some people... It also explains why so many jews and muslims has muhammed in ther names.
I love that you actually tried to pronounce the names as they are pronounced in the said country, that was so funny to watch! I'm Norwegian myself, and here the trend of naming your baby after grandparents or further back in the familytree has been very popular. So with the Finnish lists, I guess that is what is happening in Finland since the top 3 for babies are the same as 3 of the most common names of all time. (Anyone from Finland are free to confirm this or deny this if they want to, its just my guess). Anyways, here in Norway we tend to "copy" the trendy names in Sweden, I know that Ebba has brought some attention here and maybe more names from the Swedish top 10. So usually we can look at the top ten for Sweden, and then the top 10 in Norway and start guessing which names will be "copied" in Norway the next 3 years. That is kind of a interesting tendency.
Nice video it made explaining to my American friends much easier
-nen in the end of Finnish surnames is diminutive, so for example virta means a stream and virtanen means a little stream.
why is this so cute XD
I love the name Aurora.
My other name is Aurora c:
Aurora Borealis (northern lights). 😀👍🏼
My second name is Aurora
My James Aurora

Aurora Borealis? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within your mother?

As an italian, I've chucked this video so tastefully 'n interested...
But of course i could not detect nor remotely the mis-spellings of the danish, norwegian and others accents, because they look quite the same to me... though macro-differences are so easy and cool to spot, eighter in the spoken accents, eighter on the letters, etc.
Plus, I've been founding that your (swed) accent is so much resembling to me as of the finnish... but hey, maybe this is the exception that confirms the rule! (Our saying, dunno if you get it).
Thank you that much of having disposed this video either informative either handsome! Ps: You are a cool one.
I lived in Norway for 2 years about 50 years ago. The popular names have not changed a whole lot, and your pronunciation is very close to what I remember.
2019 most common male names:

Those countries really love names that start with vowels!
William is probably because of SKAM😂
You did pretty good with danish
Your Finnish pronounciation is surprisingly good
I feel like the most common baby names in sweden, denmark and also norway all contain one or two Skam character names (a very popular norwegian tv-series that had a "hype" over the last one or two years), like William for example. Maybe that could be the reason, that the trend ist going into a similiar direction for these countries?
No William has been popular for a while.
Skam doesnt put a big impact in what 20-30 year olds name they’re babies
Most common name in sweden: muhammed

Well that included my full name, and a good junk of my families names too.
An old classmate of mine has a father named Lars, my neighbour has a son named Mikael, two of the teachers I've had in school are named Anders, I think my father knows a Johan and I have a brother whose name is Erik
My mother's name is Maria and she has Anna as a second name. I once had a teacher by the name of Eva, a classmate named Karin. For many years when I was in school, we had a bus driver named Kristina.
So, yes, I've met people with the most common Swedish names
Hej, Nackagubben, jätte interessant video. But I think I'll fill you in some blanks.
Yes, it is true, that Icelanders don't _usually_ have surnames and just patronyms but there are a handful of Icelanders who use actual surnames. I did some research on it a while back for a Wikipedia article and the statistics for 2017 were as follows for the 5 most common Icelandic surnames:
1: Blöndal, 2: Thorarensen, 3: Hansen, 4: Olsen, tied 5th: Andersen, Petersen, so like in the other countries and with the exception of Blöndal, it's all frozen patronyms.
There are 3 self-governing areas in the Nordics, Faroe Islands, Greenland, and Åland, and I've taken it upon myself to give you the statistics for these in case you want to do a follow-up sometime (and assuming you actually see this post) but it will take me a few days to get these numbers for you. So stay tuned. :)
